Writing an Appreciation Letter That Motivates

Thank you very much for the incredible job you did on this year's church picnic.

There wasn't one person I spoke with that didn't have a great time.

tremendous sense of humor.

Thank you so much again,

Such letters can express your appreciation for another person helping you in some way, doing you a service or even offering you an interview for a job - which often tips the balance when an employer is undecided. In business, a letter of appreciation is written to an employee who has made a special effort in their job, above and beyond what would normally be expected of them. Such recognition can have a lasting beneficial effect for both the employee and the employer.
